Lille vs Galatasaray predicted formations

Lille host Galatasaray at Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Wednesday, October 21 (12:45 PM ET / 11:45 AM CT / 9:45 AM PT).

Lille have no fresh team-news concerns to report here, with Ayase Ueda expected to lead the line after his goal in the loss to Real Betis and Hakon Arnar Haraldsson still the main creative outlet out wide. Gaëtan Perrin and Ethan Mbappé Lottin have both chipped in with an assist off the bench, while Nabil Bentaleb anchors things in midfield. Galatasaray, who likewise have nobody ruled out, lean on Aleksey Batrakov and Rafael Leão in the final third, with Yunus Akgün and Gabriel Sara offering extra attacking and midfield options after featuring from the bench last time out.

    Lille vs Galatasaray Prediction

    Lille and Galatasaray both sit on 0 points after 2 games, but the finer margins look to favor the hosts. Ueda has already shown he can find the net and Galatasaray’s defense has leaked goals in every defeat so far. Expect goals at both ends before Lille’s extra edge in the final third sees them home 2-1.
